XI Post Installation: Cannot see Business Service Test

[petr_solberg]

Hello Everybody,

I have installed XI.

At the stage, Checking the Installation Part 2:

I have to create a new Business Service: Test

Save the service and then Activate the Change List.

I did all of that, but when I enter transaction SXI_CACHE on the ABAP side and then double click SERVICES, I cannot see the Server: Test .

Does anyone know why this Test Business Service does not appear ?

Also, I have not yet installed the SLD, can I have an XI system without an SLD ? If I want to install the SLD, can I do this as a separate step from SAPINST or can it only be done as part of the XI installation ?

Thanks,

Petr.

thank you,

Petr.

Hello,

I have checked in the Change List TAB and it is empty, if I change the search to include closed then I can see my Business Service.

When I open SXI_CACHE on the ABAP side the Services are empty and if I try to clear the SXI_CACHE with F6 or Shift-F6 I get this error:

Unable to refresh cache contents

Error during last attempted cache refresh

Error ID Business System

LCR_GET_OWN_BUSINESS_SYSTEM_SLD_API_EXCEPTION

Could this be caused be me not yet installing the SLD, and as I don't yet have an SLD I didn't to the SLD related parts of the XI post installation tasks ?

Thanks,

Petr.

Hi,

yes you must hava SLD in order to work with the XI

XI without SLD will not work

ok thank you,

quick question, can I install the sld from SAP Inst or do I need to restart the XI installation and complete the SLD part of the installation in parallel with XI ?

Many thanks,

Petr.

Hi,

>>>>can I install the sld from SAP Inst or do I need to restart the XI installation and complete the SLD part of the installation in parallel with XI ?

<developers request>

for the sake of all XI developers who will ever work

on your installation do it once more with SLD this time

XI installation and configuration phase is one of the

most important and can save lots of future problems

Evey step from the constallation & config guide is crucial

for future developement

michal

thank you,

i will check the guides, but hopefully I will only need to remove the XI layer and not the ABAP and Java WAS and the DB - I mean, hopefully I will only need to re-install XI and not the complete installation again from scratch ?

Thanks,

Petr.

Hi,

your one or two days with the installation

can realy save a much more days when the development will

start but it's your choice

Hi,

one more question, from a newby,

is the SLD installation completed simply by checking the correct check box during the abap installation and entering the sld data or, is sld a separate installation completed with sapinst before installing the abap was ?

This is not clear from the doco.

Thanks,

Petr.

Hi,

- did you activate your service?

Change list tab in the integration directory?

- did you refresh the cache? SXI_CACHE -> F6 or Shift-F6 ?

Hi Michal,

thanks for your feedback, is Activate the Change List, the same as activating the Service ? If not, then no, I have not yet activated the Service.

Your XI FAQ is number 1.

Thanks,

Petr.

hi Petr,

>>>>thanks for your feedback, is Activate the Change List, the same as activating the Service ?

yes it's the same but go to the change list tab in directory and check if it's empty

BTW

remember to refresh the cache
